Gluing up table tops and large panels often turns into a wrestling match between you and a bunch of clamps you’re tryin gto keep upright and evenly spaced. Creative genius, Izzy Swan, invented a clamp carrier that dramtically speeds up the process and eliminates the stress. Woodpeckers has worked closely with Izzy in creating their new Xpander Clamp Systems. The Xpander works with most any brand of parallel jaw clamp and keeps four clamps perfectly spaced, from butted up right next to each other up to 15 in. apart. Adjusting the spacing is as simple as sliding the two outside clamps in or out…the linkage system automatically keeps the middle clamps straight, upright and evenly spaced. When the job is done, just slide the clamps together and store them away as a single unit.

Working with your clamps held in an Xpander system makes everything about your glue-up go smoother. The clamps are locked vertically, so they won’t fall over if you bump them. The clamping heads adjust easily along the rail, since the bar is held in place. Spacing between he clamps is automatic, and the clamps are elevated off the work surface, simplifying the application of clamping cauls or Woodpeckers Joint Bridges.
The linkage bars of the Xpander are powder-coated steel…glue pops off easily. The clamp holders are tough injection-molded polycarbonate. Each clamp holder ends in a nylon foot that slides easily and won’t mar the surface of your workbench. Set screws in the clamp holders quickly and easily secure your clamps in the Xpander. Once installed, you can leave them in all the time or pop them out if needed individually.
When the glue is dry and the panel has moved to the next step, just collapse the Xpander and stand it against a wall or slide it onto a shelf…the entire assembly is barely larger than the clamps themselves and it stores neatly without turning into a tangled mess like loose clamps tend to.
Like all Woodpeckers products the Xpander Clamp Systems are precisely machined and carefully inspected in their Strongsville, Ohio, facility (just south of Cleveland).
